What a save!

He’s kept Turkey in the competition. I don’t think so Sam

 

[ROVERT47]

Great game.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

What a save.. Wow..

Austria had more than enough chances to win this.

On that 'coached to head it down', if he just meets that square there's too much goal to aim for at that pace and distance for the keeper to have a chance.

That's what I'd have done anyway, and I was renowned for my aeriel quality. *

*I couldn't wear contacts in those days, so used to literally take my glasses off, jump, close my already blind eyes and have the ball hit me wherever it liked

And a good evening to you Fabio Silva

 

[Stan Hullis]

Fabio gives me big ‘Del’ vibes tbf

 

[Del Woppio]

I'd love to protest at that but I'm genuinely a bit of prick who thinks the world owes him something. One day though, my potential will be unlocked

Fabio plays like he's drunk a pint and smoked a fag pre-kick off too

Like a true rogue Mol Mix FC player....

Interesting analysis, particularly on their goal and Mainoo.

Had give people half a chance

 

[Lupo]

Had give people half a chance

Incurred the wrath of the gaffer though

 

[Del Woppio]

Sad thing is I can only dream of that level of athleticism these days. I get out of breath cutting my bastard toe nails!

 

[Lupo]

You should have listened then

So when it all shakes out, the Swiss beating Italy is the only 'surprise' result (it isn't because they are good and Italy are shit). In the rest of the last 16 games, every one of the 'bigger' nations won, and all of the exciting plucky minnows went out. So the quarter finals are the boringly predictable quarter-finals you'd have expected.

I feel like someone on here may have predicted that would happen.
